Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of 38 short essays on places of historical interest and scenic beauty of Myanmar. They were originally written for TODAY monthly magazine and the Myanmar Perspectives, which was mainly an Internet online magazine which ceased publication about eight years ago. The essays were primarily not written as a tourist guide but more to provide background information to historical sites like Bagan, old Pyu ruined cities like Beikthano (Vishnu City), Thayekhittaya (Srikhetra), Bago (Pegu), the first seven buildings of Mandalay and a little known old Mon Pagoda in Yangon.
